More Modest Proposals


Heading toward Albuquerque on Friday to check out a grandson who has recently started talking.

Never leave home without first consulting George Motz's Hamburger America. Sadly, I see no places mentioned in Wyoming, though I distinctly remember a pretty good joint on the 80 around Rock Springs. I think I even have a menu framed somewhere. Maybe they specialized in fish.

Bud's Place in Sedalia CO is on the list, as well as couple of places in New Mexico: Bobcat Bite in Santa Fe and Owl Bar & Cafe in San Antonio. New Mexico is a little tricky in that they name some of their small towns after bigger places in other states, or maybe it is the other way around as some of the folks in NM have been there a long time. Will let you know.

We didn't try any of Motz'srecommendations in Colorado or New Mexico, but we did find out where they were. San Antonio is a little town south of Socorro, a ways south of ABQ, while the Bobcat Bite is a tiny place near Santa Fe just off Exit 284, called Old Pecos Trail but the highway is identified as Old Las Vegas.

Bud's place is only a few miles off the 25 at Exit 184, unfortunately same exit as some big outlet stores so got distracted from primary mission. Next time I promise.

“In beholding old stones we may feel our anxieties about our achievements–and lack of them–slacken . . . Vast landscapes [and seascapes] can have an anxiety–reducing effect similar to ruins, for they are the representatives of infinite space, as ruins are the representatives of infinite time, against which our weak, short-lived bodies seem no less inconsequential than those of moths or spiders.”—Alain de Botton in Status Anxiety
